As for the pricing of eggs, it is still 200 per box.

Xu Qingzhi has obsessive-compulsive disorder and is prone to many strange and unconventional places.

Like prices, she likes integers with zeros at the end.

For example, she doesn't like the number 199.99, and feels that it is not as comfortable to look at as 200.00.

The egg tray she bought can hold 20 eggs, which means each egg costs 10 yuan.

These chickens eat food rich in spiritual energy, and the eggs they lay are also imbued with some spiritual energy. The price is not expensive, and eating them for a long time can regulate the body just like vegetables, and the eggs themselves can supplement other nutrients.

Wang Yanmei is going to learn how to operate a tractor now.

Xu Qingzhi rested for a while, then got up and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. This was the last batch of vegetables ordered in the group.

Although there is a purchase limit, people who place orders every day basically buy ten kilograms, and they need to pick more than a thousand kilograms.

Seven or eight acres of land is half empty after picking the vegetables today, and there are still about 10,000 kilograms of vegetables left in the garden.

The pea tips and leeks that were planted a few days ago are fast-growing vegetables with a short maturity cycle. They originally took a month to mature, but they were grown in advance in the space. With the help of the spiritual energy array and diluted spiritual spring water for irrigation, they will be ready to eat in another month and a half.

Radishes, celery, lettuce and corn originally take two to three months to ripen. Even if she can ripen them quickly, they cannot be too conspicuous. If they only take half a month, then there is something wrong with the land. So it is estimated that we will have to wait until August or September to eat them.

Fortunately, the early batch of loofahs planted will be ripe in a while. Her mother will definitely be very happy. Ms. Wang Yanmei has been looking forward to eating the loofahs grown by her own family for a long time.

When the land is free, she will plant some lettuce, spinach and amaranth.

The beans and eggplants can still be eaten for a while.

Sell ​​some tomatoes and cucumbers, eat some at home, and leave some larger and higher-quality fruits untouched, waiting for them to grow naturally until they mature and fall off. Take out the seeds, rinse them, dry them and preserve them as seeds.

The fruits grown from the seeds saved this year will taste better next year than from seeds bought outside.

This is how Xu Qingzhi grew crops when he was in the world of immortal cultivation. The seeds he kept for future generations tasted better and purer the next year.

She looked at the vegetable garden, where red tomatoes were hanging on the branches and there was lush green behind. She felt particularly comfortable.

After the vegetables are picked, they are put into baskets, and the baskets are transported back by trailer.

This trailer was also invented by Xu Fuqiang. He saw that everyone carried it on their backs and thought it was too troublesome, so he got some steel frames and tires from somewhere and welded them into a trailer.

In fact, tricycles can also be used to transport vegetables, but at the beginning the amount of vegetables picked is small, so I have always carried the basket myself, and then I got used to it.

With this trailer, things become much more convenient. I can drag everything back from the hillside in one trip, and then drag it back to the back mountain again. Even the vegetable baskets in front of the yard can be dragged back in one trip to save effort.

Aunt Ma took a leave today for something. Xia Liannan and Aunt Zhou were responsible for washing the vegetables, Wen Shanshan was responsible for quality control, Jiang Xiao was responsible for packing, and Xu Qingzhi placed and pasted the express delivery orders.

Several people worked with clear division of labor, and soon about a hundred cardboard boxes were piled up in the yard.

After the courier boss had delivered all these things, Wang Yanmei came back from driving lessons and came out of the house carrying strawberries. She also gave two plastic bags filled with strawberries to Xia Liannan and Aunt Zhou, asking them to take them back.

Xia Liannan evaded the question, "Aunt Wang, I won't take any. Just try some."

"Take it, take it. Don't be polite if you give me a few strawberries." Wang Yanmei enthusiastically stuffed the bag of strawberries directly into the person's hand.

Aunt Zhou and Wang Yanmei are good sisters, so they won’t care so much. She carried the bag and said, “Okay, I’ll take it back and let my husband have a taste too. These strawberries taste really good. My daughter bought a box of strawberries during the Chinese New Year, but they were tasteless and as bland as water. Except for a little sweetness on the tip of the strawberry, the rest was sour. I thought that’s what strawberries taste like. I told everyone I didn’t like strawberries, hahaha…”

Wang Yanmei also laughed out loud, "I tried this thing once before at someone else's house, and I thought it was expensive and tasteless at the time."

Aunt Zhou: "Hey, how was your driving lesson today? Can you drive?"

Wang Yanmei: "I was a little lost in the past few days, and I was about to back out. But today I feel okay. Let me tell you an interesting story..."

The two of them stood on the eaves outside the gate and chatted.

Xia Liannan immediately waved her hand to refuse: "Ah? No need, I can just walk back by myself."

"I'll pick up my grandpa for dinner later." Xu Qingzhi said.

"I'm a lot farther from your grandpa's house."

Xu Qingzhi: "It's okay, let's go."

She sat on the tricycle skillfully and patted the seat next to her: "Come on up."

Xia Liannan got into the car embarrassedly.

Xu Qingzhi called out to her mother, "Mom, I'm going to take Liannan home and pick up Grandpa for dinner on the way."

She didn't shout louder because she was afraid her mother wouldn't be able to hear her. After all, when she was a child, her mother could never hear her when she chatted with other aunts.

When she was little, Xiao Qingzhi would pull her mother's arm and say she had to pee and couldn't hold it in any longer. Her mother couldn't hear her and was chatting with the aunties, dancing and gesticulating with great joy.

Wang Yanmei replied loudly: "Okay, be careful on the road."

Xu Qingzhi: "I know."

Xu Qingzhi drove away on his tricycle.

Xia Liannan was a little embarrassed, but she still took the initiative to ask: "These strawberries are quite delicious. How much is one pound?"

Xu Qingzhi made up a lie: "I bought it for fifteen yuan a pound."

"Oh." Xia Liannan nodded, tugging at the corner of her clothes, "Well, thank you, Qingzhi. If you hadn't been willing to hire me to pick vegetables, I wouldn't know what I could do to make money in this village."

The family didn't allow her to work far away.

In fact, she had originally planned to run away secretly, but later she became stronger and was no longer afraid of being beaten, plus she had a regular job picking vegetables from the Xu family and earned an income.

She planned to save more money so that she would have the confidence to get a divorce.

After that, she went to Nanyun Province to continue working and earning money. When she saved enough money, she opened a homestay by the lake.

Xu Qingzhi just smiled after hearing her words: "You earn money through your labor, you don't have to thank anyone, but I should owe you a thank you."

"Huh?" Xia Liannan asked puzzledly.

Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Do you remember the last time we played skipping rubber rope together? I didn't jump steadily and fell to my knees. You ran all the way back to my house to find my parents and asked them to pick me up. That time I fell and it hurt so much that I bled a lot. I went to the clinic to get both knees patched up, so I never played skipping rubber rope again."

Xia Liannan also remembered it. Those memories made her relax, as if she had found her childhood playmates. "I remember that I thought you didn't want to play with us anymore. Plus, I was about to go to junior high school and wasn't in the same school as those people, so we didn't play together anymore."

Xu Qingzhi explained: "No, my mother joined the waist drum team and had to practice dancing, so she bought a DVD player. I collected a few discs from others at that time, and I watched Korean dramas and horror movies at home during the holidays."

"I see. Then it's the same for us. I basically stayed at home watching TV and never went out during holidays." Xia Liannan thought of those memories, and the bad mood that she used to resist going home every time improved.

She happily recalled: "Qingzhi, do you remember that there were two boys from other villages who played with us before? At that time, the four of us called ourselves Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning. You were the youngest, so we called you Lightning Mother."

"I remember." Xu Qingzhi smiled and said jokingly, "At that time, we loved going out and running around. I didn't expect that we would both become homebodies later."

"Yes, we have all grown up in the blink of an eye." Xia Liannan sighed.

The summer night breeze blew across the cheeks of the two people. Time was changing, and even the smell of the breeze seemed different from when I was a child. There were fewer insects chirping in the distance, and fireflies were flying through the bushes beside the trees.
